Supporting a user
CoMoveIT wants to bring as many people as possible towards independent mobility. Our CoMoveIT Smart is the tool to make that happen for individuals with complex movement disorders.
To assure a correct installation, positioning, training and use, we created the CoMoveIT Academy course. The wheelchair suppliers and therapists that follow this course get a CoMoveIT certificate.
Prof. Dr. Elegast Monbaliu, CoMoveIT’s Chief Clinical Officer, is keen to share his knowledge about complex movement disorders.
Many years of experience in the clinical field and thorough academic research guarantees a state-of-the-art training.
You will be able to improve your support of individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP), more specifically severe quadriplegic spasticity, dystonia and choreoathetosis.
The CoMoveIT Academy course adds insights to your daily care and how to improve the level of functional activity, participation and quality of life.
It clarifies the position of mobility within the ICF Health Condition matrix for Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy (DCP) and what impact the improvement of personal mobility for individuals with DCP has. The course will show you what important role the CoMoveIT Smart system plays in this.
The training also focuses on the CoMoveIT Smart as a product. You learn how to install the smart steering system, how to position it optimally for the user and how the user can be taught how to drive.
Thanks to the autocalibration and the self-learning algorithm of the CoMoveIT Smart, this CoMoveIT Academy course (and your support time from now on) will focus on achieving therapeutic driving by the user.
“We intubate babies after a difficult birth and give respiration, we keep premature babies alive, we give them medication,...
If they do end up with a disability, then we also have a duty to let them really live... don't we?
They have the right like anyone else to move with maximum independence... don't they?
That is our role as society, and as therapist I fully subscribe that goal. ”
